Chapter 166

Sets of shocking statistics.

Each one representing a girl who'd been hurt.

Isabella was shaking with anger, "What do we do next? Can we contact them through these accounts?"

"But have you thought this through? What if we end up hurting these girls all over again? What if they don't want to bring up what happened back then?"

Eric also came from a wealthy family. While he wouldn't say these things were common, he'd seen them happen many times.

He knew in his heart that some women, after taking the money, just didn't want to remember what happened anymore. In fact, they wanted to completely leave their past behind.

Isabella shook her head, "I know what you're thinking, but you're a man and I'm a woman. I know what they're really feeling inside."

For a woman, something this terrible is a lifetime of hurt. Maybe because the other party has power and influence, there's nowhere to seek justice, so in the end they can only take the money and move on.

But this kind of hurt is carved into your bones. You never forget it for the rest of your life.

So it's like a wound—on the surface it looks healed, but actually the wound is still there, just deliberately hidden.

After thinking for a moment, Isabella made another request, "Help me look into these victims' information. I'll do the screening."

Some people might want to let things go, but some definitely wouldn't.

Eric was truly capable. In just a few hours, he'd already gotten the victims' information.

Isabella looked through it and quickly made up her mind, "Thank you. I won't be at the company this afternoon. I need to handle these things first. Call me if anything comes up."

To convince those girls to make this public and completely deal with those scumbags, she had to bring Stella along.

When they met, Stella learned of Isabella's plan and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll work with you on this."

The two quickly arrived at one victim's home.

To be honest, this girl had been wronged the most.

Years ago, she'd entered the entertainment industry through a talent show. She thought she'd be able to make it big, but not long after entering the industry, she was harmed by those people. In the end, she even developed severe depression.

Although she got a large sum of money, she was also blacklisted by the company. Now she was renting a place and living in poverty.

Originally Isabella and the others were conflicted and hesitant about whether they should come find this girl, but when they actually saw the victim on the street, all their concerns vanished.

A few minutes later.

Isabella and Stella knocked on the girl's door.

The door opened. The girl looked at them with frightened eyes, her body shrinking back, "What is it? Are you from property management? Or here to collect fees?"

Stella's tears immediately started flowing.

Isabella took a deep breath, "Let me introduce us. This is Stella. You can search online—all the recent news is about her."

"We're here to help you, and to help ourselves."

The girl froze for a moment. Then she reacted and instantly recognized Stella, "You're that hero, the one who wants to put all those scumbags in jail?"

"No, I'm not a hero. I'm just a victim. But so what? We shouldn't pretend nothing happened. We should stand up."

Stella stepped forward and gave the girl a hug.

The girl started crying hard, as if she'd found someone to lean on.

"What can we do? Those bastards ruined me. They ruined my whole life. Why do they still get to live their good lives so arrogantly?"

The girl seemed to want to cry out all her grievances.

After a long while, everyone finally went inside. The girl told them everything that happened back then, holding nothing back.

At the time, the girl had a fresh, innocent look. She'd just entered the entertainment industry and didn't understand anything. She only knew she was going to attend a dinner party. After being forced to drink a few glasses, by the time she realized what was about to happen, it was too late. She was tied up and thrown in the middle, and assaulted.

After it happened, she did think about calling the police and getting those scumbags arrested, but then her family members had one problem after another. With no other choice, she could only agree to a settlement.

Over these years, the girl had long lost her innocent look from back then. Instead, she looked very haggard.

Now, remembering what happened back then, she still couldn't help trembling.

Stella felt the same way, tears streaming down, "That's why we came to find you. We can sue them together and make sure they never recover."

"Of course, we'll also contact the others. Women understand women best. I know that even though you took the money, it doesn't mean it's over. You'll live in those demons' shadow for the rest of your life. Why should we suffer while letting those bad people win? We need to make them live in the shadows."

Isabella took out her business card, "Of course, we won't force you to do anything. You can think it over carefully."

"No need to think. I know about you guys. I also know you—you're Michael's ex-wife, right? I also know that these past few days, the reason you haven't settled is because you have backing. I want to come forward. I want to make those people pay."

The girl's attitude was very firm, without any hesitation.

Next, Isabella and the others visited several more victims.

Of course, some agreed, while others refused.

To avoid leaking information or having these girls threatened, Isabella directly brought the victims to the house Michael had prepared for her. Not only that, she also arranged bodyguards to protect their safety.

What Isabella and the others were doing wasn't secret. Soon the news reached certain people.

Luna naturally got word of it too.

She sat up abruptly in bed, unable to believe her ears, "Is Isabella out of her mind? Why would she get involved in something like this?"

More importantly, she was contacting those victims.

What was she trying to do? Did she want to throw all those family heirs in jail forever, so they'd never get out?

She was crazy, offending so many wealthy families all at once.

Even if these people didn't dare do anything on the surface, they'd definitely get revenge when they had the chance. They'd go crazy with revenge.

Luna was finding Isabella harder and harder to understand, "Do you think Isabella's gone crazy? Or is she doing this to get Michael's attention?"

Isabella kept saying she didn't care about Michael and wanted to separate, but in Luna's view, this was clearly a lie.

If she really wanted to separate, how could they keep running into each other?

The world was so big—it was too easy to avoid someone.

The other people in the room kept their heads down in silence.

The person who'd been with Luna last time planning against Isabella had already been sent abroad.

They didn't want to repeat that mistake.
